The keywords in the examples lists below provide a summary of the modelling and results features carried out in each example.


Software requirements

The LUSAS software version, software product (and version of that product) and any product options that are required in order to run an example will be stated in a usage box at the beginning of each example, along with any relevant notes, like this:

For software version: 21.1
For software product(s): All / LUSAS Bridge /LUSAS Civil & Structural etc
With product option(s): Nonlinear, Dynamics, Thermal, Geotechnical etc.

Notes

  • Any new examples, or examples updated for this software release are marked accordingly.
  • Examples that cannot be run using the LUSAS Evaluation / Teaching and Training version (which has restrictions on problem size) are noted in those examples.
  • LUSAS Academic will run any example, provided the correct software product option is selected during start-up.
  • LUSAS Composite examples can be run in any software product if a Composite product option has also been purchased.
